scottolsenowned.jpgTechnology Could Render Ticket Scalping Obsolete [Biz of Baseball]: An interesting new development here. As a possible way to combat ticket scalpers like StubHub, there’s talk of tickets being available in the form of SMS multimedia text messages. The Nationals, Athletics, Pirates and Rangers have already incorporated the new service.

Dangers of Major Championships [AOL Fanhouse]: Because of the lack of trees at Carnoustie, many golf fans experienced some major headaches this week. Tiger Woods and Sergio Garcia were among a group of players that hit spectators with their shots this week. Maybe if there was a tree or two, those injuries would be alleviated.

Roger Goodell: No Spine [Epic Carnival]: Because the NFL Commissioner skipped that thing called due process when he interviewed Pac Man Jones, it was widely expected that he’d do the same with Michael Vick. Vick has been indicted, a real bad sign for him. So, where’s a statement from the NFL?

Police Use Stun Gun To Arrest Marlins Olsen [Nyjer Please]: Scott Olsen thought it’d be a good idea to drive drunk. After police attempted to pull him over, he kept driving for another mile, running a stop sign in the process. The confrontation ended with Olsen helplessly kicking officers while being stunned. Great story.
